Re: ssh to Cygwin sshd - command with bat file fails when trust established but works with password authentication

["Jeffrey Lightner" <jclightner at copper dot net>]

Thanks.

I've done the passwd -R and re-established the trust.   Once the user retests with the trust I'll let you know how it goes.

The comment in the article about only System users being able to list the registry entries doesn't mean it will ignore the "passwd -R" done for a non-Administrative user (by an Administrative account of course) does it?   At present the remote Windows user is a local Administrative user but of course we plan to lock that down some after other testing pans out.

That most likely means that this application needs network access.  If
you log in via public key and don't have a password stored in registry
via 'passwd -R' and cygserver running to use it, then you won't have any
access rights to non-local resources.

If all you need is indeed to run one script, you might alternatively be
able to set up a service that starts under a network user and just runs
that script when triggered by your remote user login in via ssh.

Achim.
